| Dear Young Christian: |
| Today, I am in Guyana, South America. Travelling to different parts of the world, I realize the variety in creation is astounding. No one knows for sure how many species of animals exist on Earth. In fact, some 10,000 species of animals are discovered each year, with over one and a half million species already described. Projections for the total number of just animal species on Earth exceed 2 million. When all species are calculated, the total is almost 9 million. |
| While these estimates may not be exact, it shows the awesomeness and creativity of our God. Not only is He the creator, but He also maintains and sustains it all by His power. We can’t grasp or understand it all, but we don’t have to. “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God” (Hebrews 11:3). |
| Don’t let anyone tell you that it just happened, and that it is the result of some cosmic accident. Accept the Genesis account of creation by faith, and remember, true science never contradicts the Bible. |
